Do you need to use TC extension wire to connect a thermocouple or can you use shielded cable?

You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.

Can you use b type thermocouple extension wire for a s type thermocouple?

No If you want to maintain reasonable accuracy you must use the correct type of compensating or extension cable to match the sensor. The accuracy of the system depends on all system components. The output is generated when the wires are in thermal gradients, so if there is any thermal gradient across the compensating/extension cable you will get errors if you do not use the correct type www.peaksensors.co.uk


Thermocouple instruments are also known as?

The thermocouple is a sensore used to measure temperature. The thermocouple are made with two wires of different metals. joined together at one end to from a junction the thermocouple outputs in a a Milli volts .
